[ a soft exhale in lieu of a dry laugh. the way joseph puts it -- as if a stab wound is absolutely nothing worth worrying about -- is weirdly reassuring. figures that, regardless of age, joseph is still incredibly resilient. ]
I see. That's certainly a relief. Things got quite hectic for a while, didn't they.
[ he does follow joseph in, but doesn't take a seat just yet. ]
Actually -- I came to ask for your advice about something related to that incident. It's nothing urgent, but ... do you have any experience handling guns, Mister Joestar?
[ kakyoin sighs quietly before gingerly unwrapping that little cloth bundle he's been carrying -- just enough to show joseph the scuffed-up pistol nestled there, alongside a few magazines. ]
I fought with one of the attackers, in the latest incident. I wasn't able to stop her, but she dropped some weapons, including this.
I've never touched a gun before, so I'm not certain how to handle it ... but I thought that perhaps you might know.
[ gun or not, there's sincere respect in the way he looks up at joseph. because even if joseph is incredibly goofy and ridiculous and hard to take seriously sometimes, surely he'll be reliable right now, right? ]
[ He scratches the side of his head, looking over at the gun. Sure, he could probably fire it no problem. He's had enough practise in actually firing guns and not just watching things like Top Gun and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. ]
Ah, that's a pistol. Looks like your attacker dropped ammo too.
[ Joseph cranes his head a bit more, the respectful look not going amiss on his end. ]
[ kakyoin carefully holds out the gun lying on the fabric. it's pretty obvious that he's eager to get it off his hands. fighting with stands, he's grown accustomed to, but guns feel far more deadly, somehow. difficult to control. ]
I first considered giving it to someone. I imagine there are many people here who would appreciate having a weapon for self-defense. But it's also difficult to tell who would be trustworthy with something like this, so ...
[ The implication of what Kakyoin is saying isn't lost on him. He looks at the gun, then at Kakyoin's face. He's way too young to confront these things and if there's anyway that Joseph can help that, then he will. ]
I can take care of it, if you want. I've kept a number of guns in my time and I'll make sure it'll be safely away.
[ with how prideful he is, it's not often that he outright asks for help like this. but this is way out of his comfort zone, and joseph is the most trustworthy person he can think of for it. a brief pause as he fidgets with his hands. ]
I wouldn't want to burden you with anything too bothersome, not with how hectic this place can be on it's own.

I do! Haven't touched one in ages but when I was younger it was part of the weaponry provided by a German friend and the Speedwagon Foundation.
[ But this does beg the question - ]
Why?
[ Does Kakyoin want to use a gun? The young man seemed competent enough with his Stand that he didn't need any other weaponry. ]

Could I get a closer look?
